Overview

Evaluation shows land use changes affected hydrological processes in Lake Tana Basin, suggesting urgent management strategies.

Key Points

  • Evaluate the impact of land use/cover changes on hydrological components in the Lake Tana Basin.
  • Used soil and water assessment tool (SWAT) for analysis
  • Compared LULC maps from 2004 and 2021
  • Calibrated and validated models using SUFI-2 and observed discharge data.
  • Agricultural land decreased by 10.2% and forest cover decreased by 33.1%
  • Wetlands and rangelands increased by 81.4% and 299.2%, respectively
  • Surface runoff rose by 5.8%, while lateral flow decreased.
